"I can't thank you enough for all the hard work you put in on your Every Name Indexes. Your indexes have saved me a lot of time and have helped me take my family back one more generation. With a small clue in the county history book I was able to get my ancestor's Civil War Pension file. In that file I found the names of his parents, his siblings, and where he was married. I hit the jackpot! I just wanted you to know your hard work is appreciated and is really helping others!"

" I don't know if I've written you before to tell you what incredible work you have done but every time I go to the site, I am amazed all over again at your effort. I have the book which you have indexed and people email all the time asking me to look for an ancestor, I used to have to comb slowly through a county's pages to look for the name. It was a long process! Now I reference your site and know immediately if they are in the book and on what pages. It's AWESOME! Nice Job!"

"I want to thank you again for all the indexing you have done. This is really quite an accomplishment. Also thanks for taking the time and locating the Fayette Co. History online. I've gone back another generation and confirmed my ancestors were Mennonite. This is most interesting because my husband and I joined the Mennonite church a little less than two years ago. I just love genealogy research!"

FREE EVERY NAME INDEXES

These databases are offered as a free service to help you quickly find passages in original texts that relate to your ancestors or surnames. Any transcription may be subject to error, however every effort has been made to be sure the information provided is accurate and complete.

Most of these Every Name Indexes I have personally prepared. I have included links to other every name indexes for county histories available on other websites. Those are indicated after the county name with the notation "off site".

For a detailed explanation of how my indexes are compiled please read the About Each Index page.

All of the original texts I use for indexing are borrowed from university libraries or have been obtained through the inter-library loan system. I do not own a copy of any of the original texts. Once the Every Name Index is completed and available here on my website, the original text has been returned to the lender. Therefore, I cannot do a look-up for you.

Each index page contains a link to the original text online if it is available. If you find your ancestor's name, look for the link to do your own look-up. If no online source is available for the original text, please be sure to read the Found It! Now What? page for suggestions to help locate the original text.

New Every Name Indexes are added frequently so please check back often to see what is new!
